Abstract

Microbiology experiment is a professional basic course for biotechnology majors. This course focuses on basic experiments. In order to cultivate students' innovative ability and scientific research literacy, individual basic experiments are changed to design experiments. Taking the separation and purification of microorganisms in soil as an example, this experiment uses the student experimental group as the unit to design the experimental plan independently, carry out the experiment in a combination of classroom and open laboratory, the assessment and evaluation of the results in a combination of diversification. With a complete trial run of 2 teaching cycles, the teaching method tends to be mature, with certain innovation, feasibility and generalizability. It is helpful for cultivating students' innovative thinking ability, independent analysis and problem-solving ability and hands-on operation ability, and Improving students' comprehensive experimental quality has a significant effect.
